DISApalooza 2013 - Official Information Thread

[mdvlprof]

I'm on vacation for next couple of weeks. I'll update list when I get back.

It's an unofficial list. Just so those attending can see who else is coming.

DW (JTiggerCat) has been monitoring this and signed us up, but while I'm late to the thread, I'm pumped to be going!

That said, is there something else happening at WDW that weekend? For what I would think would be a low-demand period, there are NO DVC rooms available Friday night! We are wait-listed, but I'm thinking I should look off-property to make certain we have a place to stay!

There are no DVC rooms available the entire weekend. Believe me, I tried. Not sure why, other than the closeness to Christmas.

The first two weeks in December is the busiest time for DVC due to low points and all the holiday festivities are in high gear without the holiday crowds. I booked my room right at the 11 month mark and barely got it then.

Tell me about it. I was looking for just one night (12/5) in either a studio or a 1BR. Nothing.

Hmmm, I thought we'd booked this time of year in the past without too much hassle, but maybe things have changed. One would think DVC would adjust the points and/or build more rooms.

Several other Disney internet fan sites are having their annual December events that weekend.

I got a one bedroom at okw, but I booked it a while ago as I'm getting on the Disney fantasy the next day.

I am about to sign up to get on the wait list, but I know my address will change next month. Can I change it in your system once I move?

 

[b-c-k-a]

we are signed up!

 

[mytripsandraces]

Is this the same weekend that the Christmas parade is recorded?

 

[dansyr2514]

I think it is!

 

[b-c-k-a]

yes it is, and pop warner I believe

 

[tink576]

Is this weekend Pop Warner as well? I'm afraid I remember it being this weekend last year

 

[tink576]

Well that answers that!
You answered my question as I asked it, what timing

 

[*NikkiBell*]

This is actually the most popular DVC weekend of the year according to my DVC guide. It is when the points are the cheapest during the holiday festivities so that's why so many studios and bedroom units are already booked. I was lucky enough to get in.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I didn't want to bother John with a PM
Will credentials be mailed out to international guests in plenty of time?
We are flying in from the UK the week before DISApalooza

That might be a good idea
I did note where I was staying when I booked the tickets so perhaps when they see our UK addresses they will contact us regarding delivery of the credentials
Oh and hello fellow Brit
